      So far what I’ve read on here has me troubled.

      Yes, this is the issue, people who have no clue what they're talking about doing the whole "big pharma is bad therefore the vaccines are scary too" bit. And now the new thing is freaking out about fucking rare allergic reactions. We're all gonna get killed because some people were spooked by extremely rare allergies after it was administered to a few hundreds of thousands of people. Which, like, even if someone gets an allergic reaction, these things are very well understood and you can be treated in a very straightforward way, unlike, you know, covid. The mortality rate of anaphylaxis is literally lower than covid (with deaths usually happening because of inability to access a hospital, not in a setting where you were literally already in a hospital receiving a vaccine), and we're talking about 3 cases in hundreds of thousands.
